Answer: Option 1

Explanation:

The option selected should be the one with the highest present value.

1. Present value = $96,000

2. Present value = $39,000 + Present value of $9,800 annuity

Present value of Annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 6 periods, 5%

= 9,800 * 5.0757

= $49,741.86

Present value of option 2 = 39,000 + 49,741.86

= $88,741.86

3. Present value of $18,800 annuity:

= 18,800 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 6 periods, 5%

= 18,800 * 5.0757

= $95,423.16

Cash payment of $96,000 immediately is best option as it is highest.

<h3>What is the interest expense on bonds?</h3>

The interest expense for a bond that has the same coupon rate as the market rate is always the same for all periods of the bond.

This shows that the bond was issued at neither premium nor discount but at par.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

N (# of periods) = 20

I/Y (Interest per year) = 7.5%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $5,250 ($140,000 x 7.5% x 1/2)

FV (Future Value) = $140,000

Results:

PV = $140,000.00

Sum of all periodic payments = $105,000 ($5,250 x 20)

Total Interest = $105,000

<h3>Schedule</h3>

Period        PV              PMT           Interest        FV

1           $140,000     $5,250 $5,250    $140,000

2          $140,000    $5,250         $5,250   $140,000

Thus, the interest expense on December 31 of the first year is <u>$5,250</u>.

(Advanced analysis) The following equations give information for a private open economy.
loris [4]

Answer: Trade Deficit ($10 Billion).

Explanation:

C=40+0.8Y

Ig=$40 billion

X=$20 billion

M=$30 billion

where,

Y - GDP

C - Consumption

Ig - Gross investment

X - Exports

M - Imports

Balance of trade or Trade balance = Exports - Imports

Since, Imports are greater than the exports, so the nation is experiencing a trade deficit.

Trade deficit = Imports - Exports

= $30 - $20

= $10 billion

Ad libitum [116K]
<span>Johanna must come up with 800 more dollars in order to pay her college tuition. This number is calculated by multiplying 8,000 by 10% (or .10). When these calculations are completed, you get the number 800. Because the college tuition increases by 10%, calculating 10% of 800 tells you the amount risen due to inflation.</span>
